FROM ATHEISM TO THE REALISATION OF GOD
The more he immersed himself in the study of the scriptures and different ideologies, the more the truth revealed to him. He realised that all worldly ideologies and philosophies have many flaws. They were directly or indirectly professing the sovereignty of humans, pushing humans under the slavery of other humans. The prevalent worldly systems only made some humans superior and others inferior and brought divisions into society. This disturbed young Syed Abdullah Tariq a lot. He realised that the only thing that can emancipate humans from the slavery of other humans is the belief in God. Only this belief can unite humanity under the guidance, obedience and slavery of God. He realised that sovereignty can only belong to God.
The understanding of various religious scriptures affirmed his faith and drew him to the truth of the oneness of God (Tawheed). The purpose of life and death unravelled to him and he accepted Islam once again, this time with complete conviction. This was the beginning of a beautiful journey dedicated to compassion activities, communal harmony, and religious understanding.
In an interesting turn of events, when Syed Abdullah Tariq was in the initial phase of religious studies, his quest for knowledge and wisdom led him to the doors of Acharya Maulana Shams Naved Usmani, who taught Allama Syed Abdullah Tariq about the truth of life. Acharya Maulana Shams Naved Usmani, a well-known scholar of the Qur’an and Hindu scriptures, had spent his lifetime in the detailed study of various religious scriptures.
With the downfall of humanity, the Creator always chooses a few of them to remind the rest of the wrong they are doing and the path they need to walk upon.
Syed Abdullah Tariq proved to be one such human, who has taken the lead to work with fellow humans in restoring peace in this world through the power of compassion.
Belonging to the small town of Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, Syed Abdullah Tariq is a scholar of Islam and comparative religious studies. He is a well-known personality, venerated and held in high regard in the hearts of people spanning various communities.
His divine mission has been the motivating force that keeps him running. All his life revolves around professing the path of God and the establishment of the kingdom of God-the era of truth (Satyug/Daur-e-Haq).
